Overview
The MAC PID-590JJ is a direct solenoid-operated 3-way pneumatic valve from MAC Valves, a manufacturer with over 50 years of experience in fluid control. This model features the PID-590JJ solenoid coil rated for 24 VDC operation and is mounted on the 55B series valve body. The unit is suitable for pneumatic systems requiring reliable, fast-switching fluid control in industrial and OEM applications.
Key Features
- 3-Way Valve Design: Handles pressures between 30-150 PSI with configurable flow paths for directional control
- 24 VDC Solenoid Coil: PID-590JJ coil rated 24 VDC, 2.5 Watts for low-power industrial control circuits
- NPT Port Configuration: Two 1/4″ female NPT ports and one 1/2″ female NPT port for flexible system integration
- Fast Solenoid Switching: Direct solenoid actuation enables rapid response for pneumatic actuation and vent control
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: MAC balanced valve design minimizes wear points and maintains consistent performance under demanding conditions
